Kai had been driving for 5 hours straight, when he noticed a motel on the edge of the town he was passing through. He looked back through the rearview mirror at the twins who were sound asleep.
He was tired, but he hadn't been willing to stop, which he was now regretting as he was hit with another wave of exhaustion. He hesitated, before pulling into the motel lot.
He glanced back at the girls before getting out and going to the front desk in the lobby. The man who was tending it looked up.
"How may I help you today?" The man asked, looking completely bored.
"Yes, I need a room with two queens," Kai stated, glancing back at the van, not wanting to leave the girls alone for too long.
The man typed something into the computer, before looking back at Kai.
"Yeah, sorry but all that is available right now is a room with a king," He said, looking bored.
Kai considered it before agreeing and the man assigned the room, giving him the key.
"That will be $80," The man said, typing something.
"That won't be necessary," Kai said, narrowing his eyes.
Kai leaned in, eyes dilating, and held the man's gaze. "I don't have to pay for the room. You will mark the room down as in use and will forget ever seeing me in this motel."
"You don't have to pay for the room. I will forget seeing you in this motel," The compelled man repeated, before blinking. "Will that be all, sir?"
"Yes, thank you for your help," Kai responded, smirking.
Kai walked back to the car and opened one of the side doors. He then unbuckled Josie and gently lifted her into his arms. Then, he went to where their room was and opened the door.
He sped to the bed, pulled back the covers, and laid Josie down. He quickly took off her shoes and positioned her more comfortably on the bed.
Josie buried her head in the pillow, letting out a content sigh. Kai pulled the covers up to her shoulders.
He then sped back to the car and opened the other side door. Kai undid the buckles of Lizzie's car seat and lifted her out as well.
The movement jostled Lizzie causing her to wake up partly.
She tiredly opened her eyes and looked around. "Where are we?" She asked, quietly.
Kai looked down at her. "A motel for the night, go back to sleep there's nothing to worry about," He explained.
Lizzie nodded and rested her head in the crook of his neck but didn't close her eyes just yet.
Kai shut the side door and made sure the car was locked before heading back to the motel room.
When he got there he walked around to the other side of the bed, pulling back the covers and setting Lizzie down. Once Lizzie was lying down on the bed, she watched him silently as he took off her shoes.
Kai pulled the covers over Lizzie before moving to sit at the end of the bed, ignoring the watchful eyes of his niece.
He took off his shoes and jacket. He frowned when he realized he didn't have any clothes to change into.
There was nothing he could do about it at the moment, but he made a note to grab some clothes in town for him and the twins.
Kai then looked at the bed, trying to figure out how he was going to sleep.
Lizzie - who was still watching him - caught that look.
"Uncle Kai, you can sleep between us," She said quietly, not wanting to wake her sister.
